These people are soooo effin perverse. You'd think it might occur to them to actually campaign to get legislation to get what they want instead of cmpaigning to keep the system broken.
They can have anything they want. All they have to do is persuade enough people to support their causes.
I think expecting them to understand the legislative Body allows for their views to be realized provided it doesn't conflict with the Constitution and is endorsed by the people is too much for them to comprehend.
Their hysteria is over the top.
First, unless Kennedy has suddenly re-discovered what the traditional role of the Supreme Court was meant to be, we're going to need another judge to overturn R v W.
Second, I don't think anyone can credibly make the argument abortion would be entirely overturned anywhere. Consensus seems to be it's allowable in rape, incest or life of the mother endangered because the majority are sympathetic to their circumstances.
Third, while conceivably possible partial birth will be outlawed in a good number of states, first trimester is unknown. No one really knows what the American people would do, as they haven't had to make the decision in decades. Chances are it would be allowed in most states at this time. There certainly wouldn't be a 50 state ban on it.
This isn't to state my opinion of abortion, but rather a pragmatic take on where the American may be at and it is certainly not cause for hysteria from the pro abortion crowd.
